Enrique, you could do something like that on the Mac too but it would be the WRONG way to do it. Slowing down the video will NOT look as good as reflagging it (unless of course Vegas is truly...

You may need a two step process. Convert the video to a none GOP format such as Apple Pro Res. Then have Cinema Tools reflag it as 23.98fps.

Doing that versus overcranking at 720p24/60 has the...

You could setup an Ebay or Amazon store. You're not going to sell much without marketing which is why I brought that up in a earlier post.

Often times people can do very well targeting niche markets. It depends on the content and approach you've taken in your film.

For that price they should fly you to the factory in Japan and fix it while you wait.

Someone posted that ClipBrowser 2.6 I believe would have something that would take care of the split frame flash issue. Of course no one knows until Sony actually releases it.

Interesting the inclusion of DV/Standard Def. I honestly think that's a rare need given one can shoot HD and edit in SD timeline with greater flexibility.

You can buy the part from Sony. I did for my EX1. In fact when I ordered they asked "how many." Kind of shows you the confidence they have in the part and the frequency of breakage.

In a review I read it said Sony added a filter for this issue in the EX-1R so one might assume it's there in the 350 as well.
